Which word in the sentence is a direct object? A grapefruit tree can produce 1,500 pounds of fruit each year. A. pounds B. tree C. year I think it's A

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It is B.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can you explain please?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its a pounds becuase it follows up the subject (grapefruit tree) and the verb(produce)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

*because

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The DO can be renamed as the noun, I thought?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok the meaning in my book says a direct object is a noun or pronoun that recieves the action of the verb

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the action of the verb is producing. what is it producing is your direct object. which is pounds

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So it's B?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think it is A pounds

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Which word in the sentence is a direct object? Raheem fed a goat at the petting zoo. A. zoo B. petting C. goat

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think it's C

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its c: goat because your subject is raheem and your verb is fed. your direct object follows after your subject and verb.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thanks you!! As you can see I want to make sure they're right by letting you check them

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok cool

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Which words in the sentence are direct objects? Choose all answers that are correct. They cleaned the rusty sink and then the tile floor. A. floor B. tile C. cleaned D. sink

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think A,C,D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its d:sink they is your subject and cleaned is your verb. what did they clean? they cleaned the sink and the floor. but because sink came first in the sentence sink is your direct object

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait u can choose more than one answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

YEAA

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That's the tricky part I think

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well it would either be sink or floor, or both

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but i think its sink. dang, this is hard, cause i dont wanna give u the wrong answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeaa that makes sense since cleaning is the direct object/subject

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Im going to go with sink and floor

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok cool

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Which word in the sentence is an indirect object? Choose all answers that are correct. Give Ben and his cousins a snack before bedtime. A. cousins B. Ben C. bedtime D. snack

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think its cousins. because the snack is the direct object and the indirect object is the recipient of the direct object, so cousins seems to be the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmmmm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeaa but aren't they giving the snaks to the cousins AND Ben?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah...so i guess its ben and cousins!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Which word in the sentence is a direct object? Did you make your hamsters and gerbil their own cages? A. you B. gerbil C. cages D. hamsters I think c

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think its hamsters you is the subject and make is the verb the direct object would be hamsters

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well in this case since there is a and. it might be hamsters AND gerbil

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeaa but this one,there is only 1 coreect answer..I though the direct object is like the main idea or something

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Direct objects follow transitive verbs [a type of action verb]. If you can identify the subject and verb in a sentence, then you find the direct object. so its wat follows after the subject and verb. and hamster comes after.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohhh ok thank you! But you see,im not good at this so it's hard for me to find those things

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but hey if u think its cagses then go with ur gut cause i could be wrong
